Actually, the U.S. Navy performed a series of studies regarding camoflauge at sea before WWII. They discovered that pink is the most difficult color to distinguish on the ocean surface. For some strange reason the guys who were actually on the ships didn't like the idea of repainting their vessels...
To my knowledge there is no "official" name for the Generation following Generation X. There are a variety of media induced catch phrases, including Generation Y, Generation D, and the echo-boomer generation. However, it is important to note our generation ( I was born in 1978 ) are usually considered a transitional generation. That is, people in our age groups tend to share certain traits with those before ( Gen X ) and those after (Gen Y, D, whatever) Simply put, people our age don't really have a specific generation, we are a buffer between generations. There was an interesting article on this subject at USATODAY about a year back. I'm too lazy to find the article.
